Music video

The video starts off with a blueish footage of Manastir Pećka patrijaršija(Patriarchate of Peć Monastery) that will continue between every verse and during the first half of choruses. The video then switches to a closeup of Baja singing and emotionally gesturing. The second verse starts with Baja sitting on a bench, switches to a closeup and back. The video continues like that until the very end.

Lyrics

Lyrics:

Vratiću se tamo gde sam rođen ja,
tamo gde je Pećka Patrijaršija

Obilić me zove i car Lazar sveti,
tamo sam se rodio, tamo ću umreti,
pred očima slike Kosovskoga boja,
Kosovo je srpsko, to je zemlja moja

Tamo mi je majka, i sestre i braća,
gde je Srbin rođen, on se tamo vraća

Obilić me zove i car Lazar sveti,
tamo sam se rodio, tamo ću umreti,
pred očima slike Kosovskoga boja,
Kosovo je srpsko, to je zemlja moja

Dušanovom gradu vratiću se ja,
tamo gde je Prizren, gde je Bistrica

Obilić me zove i car Lazar sveti,
tamo sam se rodio, tamo ću umreti,
pred očima slike Kosovskoga boja,
Kosovo je srpsko, to je zemlja moja

Lyrics (English):

I will return back to where I was born
To where is the Peć patriarchate

Obilić is calling me, and Holy Tsar Lazar
There I was born, there I will die
Before my eyes are images of the Battle of Kosovo
Kosovo is Serbian, that is my land

There are my mom, my sisters and my brothers
Where a Serb is born, there he will return

Obilić is calling me, and Holy Tsar Lazar
There I was born, there I will die
Before my eyes are images of the Battle of Kosovo
Kosovo is Serbian, that is my land

I will return back to Dušan's town
To where is Prizren, where is the Bistrica

Obilić is calling me, and Holy Tsar Lazar
There I was born, there I will die
Before my eyes are images of the Battle of Kosovo
Kosovo is Serbian, that is my land
